When you’re an artist trying to promote a new line of wall art, going to trade shows can be intimidating at first. It’s more than a little daunting to pack up your precious wares, tote them to your first show, set up a booth and then wait on what you hope will be a loyal customer or two.
At Language Art we were lucky. Our very first major trade show, in Chicago in July 2007, brought Arts & Artisans into our booth. We already knew about their stores (who in the Chicago area doesn’t?) and we were thrilled when they placed an order.
